Jamie’s Farm Residential – Learning, Growth & Connection in the Countryside

This week, a group of our Year 9 and Year 10 students have been enjoying a wonderful residential at Jamie’s Farm – Hill House, just outside of Bath. As the original and central hub of the Jamie’s Farm network, Hill House is a place where young people connect with nature, meaningful work, and each other.

Throughout the week, students have embraced a variety of enriching, hands-on activities—from cooking, gardening, and log chopping to photography, feeding livestock, and moving cattle. These immersive tasks are designed to build resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of community, while also offering a welcome break from the everyday routine.

On Tuesday the pupils ended with a well-earned paddle in the river—a chance to unwind and reflect after a full day of purposeful activity.

They have been lucky with beautiful weather and look forward to the rest of the week as students continue to grow, learn, and make lasting memories.
